Post Malone at O2 Arena: fans in frenzy as tickets for I Like You rapper’s Twelve Carat Tour go on sale today

Post Malone has sent fans into a frenzy with the release of tickets for his Twelve Carat Tour after presale began ahead of today’s general sale.

The rapper, 27, from New York, who has over 23 million Instagram followers, took to the platform to announce the dates for his upcoming shows at London’s O2 Arena, as well as OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Resorts World Arena in Birmingham and AO Arena in Manchester.

He sparked a rush to get tickets when presale began on the 1st March, with fans taking to Twitter claiming that they will be in “tears” if they fail to get a ticket when general sale begins today at 12 noon via Ticketmaster.

“Gonna cry myself to sleep tonight if I don’t get Post Malone tickets today 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽,” one wrote.

Another tweeted: “I swear to god I am manifesting post malone tickets tomorrow, they do say 3rd times a charm🥵”

A third said: “Gonna cry if I don’t get post malone tickets today”

A fourth added: “post malone is my reason of life, if i don’t get these tickets don’t expect to hear from me x”

Post Malone, whose real name is Austin Post, added a third date in London on Sunday 7th May after “phenomenal demand” for the previous two dates initially released for the same week. The Grammy Award-nominated rapper will be supported throughout the tour by American hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd.

The series of shows comes after the release of Post Malone’s Twelve Carat Toothache album and sold-out performances across the U.S and Canada in 2022. Among the hits he performed was ‘I Like You (A Happier Song)’, ‘Cooped Up’ as well as fan-favourites such as ‘Rockstar’, ‘Congratulations’, and ‘Better Now’.

Post Malone took to Instagram to promote his new tour with a monochrome snap showing him performing on stage. He captioned the post, writing: “Twelve Carat Tour is back. Europe & UK see you soon:) presales start March 1st at 12p local time. Public on sale starts March 3rd at 12p local time.”

Over 700,000 fans liked the post as many began pleading for the artist to add more European dates.

Post Malone previously admitted that he struggles with leaving his daughter, who he welcomed with fiancee in May 2022, to go on tour.

Speaking to GQ, he said: “It’s really tough not being able to see her, but she’s coming out more often now. She’s huge, she’s super tall, and she’s such a legend and I’m just happy to see her. But it is heartbreaking having to leave and not be able to be with her all the time.”
